Having come across my spreadsheet with the timeline of the whole case
and filling in some bits and pieces today, I noticed something regarding
the Gaspar statement I find odd.

I was always undecided about
whether it was genuine concern of a friend of Kate's or an attempt to
get David Payne in line with the cover-up. Now if we look at the
timeline we first noticed the quite long delay for Katharina Gaspar to
decide going to the police. Almost two weeks in the case of a missing
child seems a long time but was explained by the fact that she did not
know until then that DP had been on the trip as well. Nevertheless, if
we consider the described incident properly, Gerry McCann was as much
part of the scenario as DP and therefore it should not have mattered to
her much if DP was with them on holiday or not. Gerry's reaction to the
alleged Payne incident would have warranted the same concerns even if he
had been alone in PdL. Just remember how very cleverly DP had always
been brought into the focus of the Gaspar statement and not so much
Gerry, even from us...

Now if we look at the date Katharina
finally dragged herself to the police station we see that it was the
16th May, exactly one day after Robert Murat was pictured on every paper in Britain as the most probable perpetrator.

If
you are considering going to the police in a case you are not sure
about, waiting 13 days until you muster up the courage, would you not
hold back a couple of days more when you find out that they found the
alleged abductor not connected to your suspicion at all? You would save
yourself the trouble of a false accusation if he turned out the one who
had taken Maddie.

Or did it rather take 6 days of organising and
convincing of the Gaspars to get them to the police station after the
botched 2nd questioning on May 10th of Gerry McCann at the police
station where he felt the need to throw in David Payne with two
concocted sightings of Madeleine, one during Wednesday night (!) and one
on Thursday around 18:30. IMO two sightings he just made up during the
interview because he had been pushed into a corner or felt the need to
confirm Maddie's presence at those two points in time.

Imagine David's reaction when he told him about it, he might not have been amused...

Ever noticed when the "clever marketing ploy" of the photografically enhanced "coloboma" that might have resulted in the removal of the eye by the abductor was abandoned? Nowhere to be seen again, replaced by a pathetic yellow-green ribbon.

Yes I know, the word "dog" is not appreciated in certain circles and "snifferdogs" is definitely not politically correct. We all know that Eddie and Keela were incredibly reliable. Or was it unreliable? I will have to consult Gerry again...

In any case, until now Timmy, Sacha, Kolly, Oscar, Rusco and Rex have been criminally neglected. The portuguese sniffer dogs who had been busy at work on the early morning of the 4th May probably feel like unloved relatives overshadowed by the great Eddie and the excellent Keela. Therefore I felt they needed their own chapter.

Especially Timmy did his breed some credit when he was presented at 23:00 on the 4th May in front of apartment 5A with a bath towel belonging to Madeleine. Starting at the entrance to 5A he sniffed out the following path: (see above)

At the only streetlamp placed in that carpark he sniffed more attentively, turned around and went back the way he had come.

I had previously suspected that the walk to the beach had been originally planned along the "shortcut" to the creche, following little dark lanes. Carrying a sleeping child would not have been unusual on that route. But the carrier apparently stopped his walk exactly at the lantern. Possibly because up on the balcony of 4G the families of Rajinder Balu and Neill Berry were dining together. Both might have recognised the carrier from earlier encounters at the kid's club. Panic, Retreat, back to the little gardin in front of 5A.

So much bad luck should be forbidden. The carrier was surely feeling sick as a dog...
